We were supposed to be seal watching, but when this guy flew by the guide seemed to make a big deal of it. I would guess we were about 100 yards away so he didn't take up much of the frame. Sorry about the quality, it is about a 60% crop even with a 300(x1.6)mm lens.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size. .

It's an immature bald eagle. That is what I thought, but being so ignorant of such things, and the fact that it did not look like the one on my doallr bill, I figured I had heard wrong. .
